FSD Supervised is looking out for you

SUV merged right into me without checking its blind spot. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) braked hard, stopped, then picked right back up once it cleared. Quick and calm. @TeslaSI @wholemars

Launching in Argentina later this month

Before the tower had ever caught a booster, Elon told us it wasn't breaking physics. Next week SpaceX goes for the booster and the ship.

"We would like to catch the booster in the giant Mechazilla arms… But we're not breaking physics, so success is one of the possible outcomes here."

@elonmusk to Tesla Owners Silicon Valley at the 𝕏 Takeover, July 2024

In October 2024 the tower caught Super Heavy for the first time. Starship Flight 15 is targeting Nov 13, pending FAA approval, as the first attempt to catch both the booster and the ship. This morning Elon posted: "Catching a giant rocket falling from space."

BREAKING: SpaceX is targeting November 13 for Starship Flight 15.

Cybertruck forever 📐🇺🇸

Elon Musk on why Starship has to be fully reusable:

"Nobody's ever made a fully reusable orbital rocket."

"That's really the critical breakthrough necessary for life to become multiplanetary."

"For us to become a true spacefaring civilization, we have to achieve full and rapid reusability."

"I call it rapidly reusable reliable rockets."
Full and rapid reuse is the whole point.

Tesla shareholders: Our Annual Meeting is coming up on Dec 3rd

This year, we’re asking you to vote “FOR” all three proposals on the ballot, including the re-election of Elon Musk, Robyn Denholm and JB Straubel to Tesla’s Board.

Q3 Shareholder Update → https://t.co/u0UcDOuMNa

Highlights
– FSD Supervised attach rate grew to over 75% of new vehicle deliveries in NA

– Unveiled the next-gen Roadster

– Record deliveries in Canada, Australia, Japan & Taiwan

– Tesla Semi now in volume production. Top variant can go up to 500 miles at a full 82,000 lbs while achieving efficiency of 1.7 kWh/mile – about a third of the energy a comparable diesel truck burns for the same load

– Ended the quarter with the largest backlog for our passenger vehicles in 4 years!

FSD Supervised
– 4 new approvals since Q2 (Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia)
– FSD is now live in nine EU countries & used by over 100,000 customers logging more than 160 million kilometers since initial approval

Robotaxi
– Deployed Cybercab into our Austin fleet
– Hit nearly 2 million cumulative unsupervised miles, 8x growth in the quarter
– Austin service now runs 6 am to midnight, with wait times continuing to come down as we add cars & improve the orchestration algorithms
– Added Grok to Cybercab with Grok Bot & Connectors, letting you interface with your inbox, calendar, files, chats and tasks, all by voice.

Transport, office & living room in one

Robotics
– Started production of @Tesla_Optimus on our high-volume lines in Fremont.
These are the first production-quality bots we've built, proving that the current manufacturing process for Optimus is suitable for a commercial product

SI Compute
– On track for 400 MW of training compute by year end, feeding both vehicle & humanoid autonomy
– Austin Fab construction continues, equipment commissioning planned for 2027

Battery
– Battery supply is still the limiter on how fast we ramp vehicles globally, so we're expanding on every front: pack capacity in Berlin, cathode and lithium refining in Texas, LFP cells in Nevada
– Shipped the first Megapacks built entirely with our own LFP cells
– Increasing 4680 output to support ramp of Cybercab, Semi & Model Y

Energy
– Megafactory Texas is up & running, with Megapack 3 production started
– Highest-ever order rate & backlog for energy storage

Grid constraints & power availability are making Megapack the answer for SI infrastructure demand: it excels at supplying large data center loads, smooths out demand spikes, helps new projects meet grid connection rules & makes the grid itself more stable

All with less local fossil fuel generation

Supporting Infrastructure
– Added 2,100+ net new Supercharger stalls, up 14% year over year

Cybertruck inspires

[Matthew @SliMM2424]

This is my 8 year old sons favorite vehicle. Every time we pass one on the highway or anywhere he always says dad dad there’s a cybertruck. This will be ours one day
